9/11
The September 11 attacks, colloquially
known as 9/11, were a coordinated series of
suicide attacks perpetrated by the Islamic terrorist
organization al-Qaeda against the United States in 2001. A total
of 19 terrorists planned and subsequently hijacked four
airliners, then flew one into each of the Twin Towers at the
World Trade Center in New York City. The third plane crashed
into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the United States
Department of Defense, in Arlington County, Virginia. The fourth
plane crashed in a rural Pennsylvania field during a passenger
revolt. (Wikipedia)

Inside the search for a mysterious salmon killer
